Is it a good thing for girls to chop their tits off?

Why would that be a good thing?

Shouldn’t we be offering mental health services to these people, instead of celebrating body mutilation?

Metro:

Costa has defended its mural celebrating the body of a transgender man following a backlash from certain gender critics.

A photograph of the coffee chain’s express van went viral due to its depiction of a half-naked surfer with mastectomy scars on their chest.

Costa said the design was created last year for Pride month to showcase the ‘diversity’ of their customers and staff.

A mastectomy is a surgical breast removal procedure and the surgery is carried out on transgender men who want to remove breast tissue from their bodies.

Their representation in cartoon form was enough to trigger several right-wing commentators.

Former actor Laurence Fox claimed it promoted the ‘mutilation of healthy young girls’ and said he hoped Costa would be ‘boycotted out of existence’.

His GB News colleague Nigel Farage aligned the mural to his banking woes, suggesting it was ‘part of the rottenness’ in corporate culture.

Meanwhile, Reform UK leader Richard Tice and Talk TV host Julia Hartley-Brewer both called it an attack on ‘healthy breasts’.

But the Costa cartoon has been praised by several people online.

Metro columnist Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir said it was a ‘lovely illustration’ and a ‘great advertisement for Costa’.

Still not fooling anyone, Ugla

One transgender man tweeted: ‘As a trans man with similar scars, thank you Costa for the representation.’

In an interview with Hartley-Brewer, Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle said ‘it is a body that exists and all those things should be celebrated’.

Well.

I’m not drinking coffee that chops girls’ tits off.

I support traditional, big titty coffee.

I’m for the people.

Do you know where the coffee shop doesn’t chop your tits off?

NIGER.
